Determination of essential amino acids for Streptococcus pyogenes

In order to construct an in vivo-like buffer for S. pyogenes, the intracellular concentrations of Fe, K, Mg, Mn Na, P and S elements were determined via ICP-AES (inductively coupled plasma atomic emissionspectroscopy) method at the Institute of Land Use, University of Rostock. The samples for the analysis were obtained from a steady state culture grown on CDM-LAB with glucose.
